I appreciated how connected Haig was with the audience. There was no fourth wall. He invites us to lean in and listen to what he has to say. It’s a compelling narrative with unexpected twists and turns, but that’s life.
What I didn't like
I feel that the pace could be increased but that may come with more performance reps. It’s a unique story that I hope more people of all stripes get to witness.
My overall impression
Best. Dad. Never. is a brave exploration of potentially thorny topics that Haig unpacks with disarming charm and ease. He’s definitely not afraid to “go there” and I appreciated that. There’s a lesson for us all here. In his specific lived experiences, Haig echoes universal themes that have haunted humans for years. There are many complexities at play here, but sometimes you’ve gotta poke the bear. Kudos!
